Court documents unsealed on Wednesday have revealed a list of high-profile associates of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including Prince Andrew, former US president Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and David Copperfield. The documents were filed as part of a lawsuit by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 for sex trafficking.
The names, previously listed as John or Jane Does, were made public in court filings that include depositions and motions. Inclusion in the documents does not imply wrongdoing; many individuals were mentioned in passing during legal proceedings.
In a deposition, Maxwell confirmed that Prince Andrew visited Epstein's private island in the US Virgin Islands, but insisted no girls were present other than staff. Another deposition from Johanna Sjoberg, who alleged she was procured for Epstein, claimed Epstein said Clinton "likes them young." Clinton's spokesperson has denied any knowledge of Epstein's crimes.
Sjoberg also stated she met Michael Jackson at Epstein's Palm Beach mansion but did not massage him. She recalled David Copperfield performing magic tricks at dinner and asking if she was aware that girls were paid to find other girls. Former president Donald Trump was mentioned in connection with a visit to his casino; Sjoberg denied giving him a massage.
The documents also include an account of Sjoberg meeting Prince Andrew at Epstein's New York home, where Maxwell presented a puppet resembling the prince.
